And what did Palin earn and what did she give to charity? Oh that's right she REFUSES to release her financial records.

We will see if she releases them, but she isn't calling to take more of your money away so Congress can spend it.

Well I don't need to worry about that. I don't make $250,000 a year. And if the powers that be have their way I'll be living in a tent by this time next year.

Personally I think rich liberals, like the founders of Google or Steve Jobs, Buffet and similar should be able to keep their money because they will put their money to good use, but rich Republicans should have to pay a lot more taxes because most of them made their money from exploiting the poor, the uneducated and the Earth's natural resources without paying appropriate compensation for access to these resources.

Update: Palin made $128K in 2006 and $199K in 2007.
Palin donated $3,325 to charity in 2007 and $4,880 in 2006

Biden has donated a total of $3,690 to charities since 1998.
